Allen West says many Dems in Congress are communists. The embarrassment made network news last night. Florida really does boast a grab bag of corrupt, ill-informed, and ignorant politicians, but Congressman Allen West takes the prize.
At a town hall in Jensen Beach Tuesday, a man asked West, “what percentage of the American Legislature do you think are card-carrying Marxists (something garbled) Socialists?” American Legislature? WTF?
West's reply: “That’s a good question. I believe its about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party are members of the Communist Party.”
PolitiFact asked West’s spkeswoman Angela Melvin for an explanation today: “The Congressman was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies. The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom.” Lie. Lie. Lie.
Dumb and dumber doesn't begin to describe Congressman Allen West who is up for re-election, opposed in Broward by Patrick Murphy. Murphy could use your support right about now.

I don't know which concerns me more: That a person who thinks and spews such nonsense can be elected to congress or that the Tea Party people actually seem to believe and rally around this garbage.
I am starting to understand how Hitler rose to power in Germany and the Taliban in Afghanistan. It is no different here.
Evil, Repugnantcant POS!
Allen West abandoned his district 22 Florida constituents, because his radical right-wing tea-party ideology wouldn't fly in a slightly reconfigured domain. He has invaded our district 18 in hopes of retaining his dubious influence (if any) in Congress. Patrick Murphy will win the seat. West will have to look elsewhere for someone to pay him a handsome salary and overly-generous benefits, while we seniors pin our hopes on someone who is truly concerned by folks who have earned benefits like Social Security and Medicare through a lifetime of contribution to these worthwhile programs.
